the herd mentality

Ever since the first time I heard that word, I've always imagined animals on a farm feeding happily at a trough, unaware of their impending doom. It turns out, that's closer to reality than I thought.

Edit: I mean the word "feed".



it's also when predators go after prey and the heard of whatevers blindly follow the direction of a peer, sometimes into peril.
